Explored
That’s my daughter, Madelyn, in the middle far-right, looking damp and pensive. Yesterday, she earned Flickr’s Explore honors
Earning a “Congrats on Explore!” is a fun surprise. It often means a photo is appreciated or receives a lot of likes and comments. Browsing through the Explore selections, you see some great work from all over the world.
I entered Madelyn’s photo into Flickr’s World Photography Day photo contest. She didn’t win that, but she got an Explore nod (as did the other entries in the contest, it seems).
As to what wins an Explore entry, I cannot figure out a rhyme or reason, and some of my Explored photos make no sense. But I appreciate the surprise every time it happens.
